The Dark Knight-
- Not enough Jokerish moments. Heath embodied the character well, but there should have been more gags/comedy in his character
- Bale was boring as hell. I get that he is supposed to be more stoic than BB, but I did not much care for Bruce Wayne
- Two Face's death is why I cannot hold this as my definitive Batman movie. Bane is cool, but Two Face is an intriguing/interesting enough character to hold a movie by himself
- This might seem shallow, but I just can't buy Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent fighting over Maggie Gylenhaal (apologies if this sounds a little mean).

    The Kingdom:

    -The beginning turned a lot of people off (I am a dialogue buff)
    -They should have had a better balance between action and dialogue
    -More character development (especially of fran), maybe a flashback to the scene where Fran stood up for Jenn Garner's character

    The Watchmen
    -Don't ? the Comedian
    -Develop the old school characters more, give us more of an understanding of the origins.
    -Don't ? RORSCHACH
    -More dialogue between Mr. Manhattan and Rorschach

    Margin Call
    -Penn's character should have stepped his game up
    -They should have showed us how they got dude off the stoop
    -there should have been more compassion in between characters, to help the audience feel the indifference better

    Repo Men
    -the wife was worthless
    -RZA and Jude Law scene should have been longer
    -some more description of the things that were implied (whitaker's character wanting to feel like he had a place in Law's characters life while living and dead)

    the Shawshank Redemption is flawless...

    the Dark Knight - Two-Face shouldn't have died...a Two-Face/Bane flick would be super epic
    Good Will Hunting - the 'Its not your fault' bit is so forced and ?

    in the hangover....why the ? didn't they think to look on the roof for dude when they saw his bed was up there? granted, the rest of the movie never would've happened, but i found that hard to believe they thought to look on the roof because of some cryptic message instead of physical evidence.

    cosign the bolded

    What do you mean by more stoic than BB?

    I thought Bruce Wayne was great...he is a sociopath...the idea of Batman and Joker being two sociopaths one choosing to be good, the other choosing to evil is perfect. The only connection Batman has to humanity is Rachel, he MERKS that ? to see if Bats will come to his side of the playing field. The movie is perfect.

    Bruce Wayne is to Batman...what we have no idea of about Joker...we know nothing humane about Joker, that's what makes this movie interesting. The human part of Bats (BW) is his weakness in the mind of joker. Joker has no WEAKNESS because he isn't giving you anything that he gives a ? about, not even himself. There is nothing personal about him, he just wreaks havoc

    But personally, I never saw Bane as a main villain.

    co-sign the two-face thing they turned one of the GOAT villians of all-time into a burn victim with a cameo...I also though he shouldve been thought dead and came back in dark knight rises with bane...cant co-sign the rest though

    ? had me mad too bruh...

    Hardest part of the movie is when Bray met up with Nick and Cantrell and explained to them that Clyde was a brain. Then they asl "aere you saying we can't stop him?"

    Bray replies 'Walk into his cell and put a bullet in his head, othewise, no you can't stop him. If he wants you dead, you're dead"

    The first two thirds of that film was a psychological thriller and on it's way to being one of the few sci-fi greats of the 00s, and for some ridiculous reason it randomly lurches into a slasher movie. I still love the film and considering how cheap it actually was Danny Boyle did a a great job making such a low budget film look and sound better than 99% of Hollywood blockbusters that cost 3-5 times as much, but that final third seriously brought the rest of the film down. I won't blame Danny Boyle for that, I'm looking squarely at Alex Garland who seems to have a knack for producing amazing ideas but being unable to write decent conclusions i.e 28 Days Later, The Beach (the book). Regardless, still a great film and still massively underrated.

    You have to watch it from that perspective at least once, my g. That's the whole chess match joker and bats are playing.

    Joker is basically saying you either break your code and merk me, or I am going to drive you insane flaring up the only emotion you have (which is anger).

    Joker is connected to the criminals in the movie the same way that Bats is connected to Luscious and Alfred, he doesn't show them compassion he just does things that help them out, and he utilizes their skills for his benefit.

    Joker gets ? when people start making Harvey Dent out to be the ying to batman's yang, so for a brief minute he does everything he can to destroy Dent to prove that he is no where near the level of Bats and himself...(which is proven he does when Dent turns pure evil)

    The Nolan boys crafted a fantastic film from a writing standpoint, and then to pull it off so perfectly production wise. Round of an applause...

    re-thinking this movie has me considering putting this ? over Watchmen as goat Comic book film

    The ? did you get that from what I said.

    I said Joker attacked dent because of he was being put on the same level that Bats is on and Joker believes he is on also, so he attacked Dent so that people's perspective of him would change. He knew Dent wasn't ? with Bats and he proved it. Rachel was both of their weaknesses, Bats took it like a G, Dent went to the darkside

    but had dent died he would have died a hero and would have put dent over batman forever... ( the same way ? will always put biggie and pac over other rappers)
    Had dent died there would be no way for Joker to prove that he wasnt on the same level as batman because the people would remembered that dent sacrified himself by saying he was batman.... people wouldve found out that he was lying and but him over batman and joker had he died

    I just corrected it for you then, ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES ever, but yes when I saw certain parts I didn't like it. Should I edit my post for you. What I wrote for don't ? the comedian and don't ? rorschach was the way I felt when it happened. Thats all bruh...sorry for the miscommunication

    Joker set it up for Batman to save Dent, that's why he lied about their locations.

    American History X - I kind of wish they would've shown more of Derek's transformation during his time in prison. It's a little hard to buy into him becoming a peaceful soft-spoken liberal... after having just watched him commit a curb-stomping.

    Crooklyn - I love this movie, I just didn't like when Spike did that weird stretch thing with the camera at a certain point. then it goes back to normal... not sure why. : /
